Are you tired of constantly giving in to your sweet tooth? Look no further than this Almond Joy Essential Oil Roll-On!
Not only does it smell amazing (like a Dutch almond pastry), but it also helps curb those pesky cravings. Simply roll it onto your pulse points whenever you feel the urge to snack, and let the soothing blend of essential oils and coconut oil work its magic. Made with 100% natural ingredients, this roll-on is perfect for anyone looking for a healthier, more natural way to combat their cravings.
Lifestyle Changes to Help With Cravings
Get Enough Sleep
One of the best ways to combat cravings is to get enough sleep. When you’re well-rested, your body can better regulate its hormones, which can help reduce cravings. Additionally, sleep deprivation can increase levels of the hormone ghrelin, which has been linked to increased hunger and cravings.
Eat a Balanced Diet
Another way to reduce cravings is to eat a balanced diet with plenty of lean protein, healthy fats, and fiber-rich foods. Protein and fiber help keep you feeling full, while healthy fats help promote satiety. Avoiding processed foods and sugary snacks can also help keep cravings at bay.
Drink Plenty of Water
Staying hydrated is another key component of reducing cravings. Properly hydrated, your body can better regulate its hormones and maintain a healthy appetite. Drinking water throughout the day can also help prevent overeating by making you feel full.
Get Regular Exercise
Exercise is another great way to reduce cravings. It helps regulate hormones and keep your appetite in check. Additionally, exercise releases endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects that can help ease stress and anxiety, two common triggers of cravings.
Use Essential Oils
Another effective option is incorporating essential oils into your routine. Some essential oils have been known to suppress appetite and help with sugar cravings. Whether you diffuse the oils, add a few drops to your bath or lotion, or use them in a roll-on, incorporating essential oils into your daily routine can be a refreshing way to help with those unwanted cravings.
What’s in This Roll-On Recipe?
Fit Essential Oil Blend
Almond Joy Roll-On’s secret ingredient is Fit Essential Oil Blend. This unique blend of Grapefruit, Spearmint, and Lavender Essential Oils helps you resist snacking by providing a refreshing, citrusy, and minty scent that lets you forget you were hungry.
Anise Star Essential Oil
Another main component of this recipe is Anise Star Essential Oil. This oil has a licorice-like aroma and assists with digestive issues1, making it beneficial for those who struggle with bloating, gas, or nausea. In addition to its digestive benefits, Anise Star essential oil supports clear thinking and sharp focus.
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil is the carrier oil used to dilute the essential oils in this recipe. It is odorless, so it won’t diminish the aroma of the essential oils you use.
Things to Remember When Using This Recipe
Always dilute an essential oil when using it on the skin. This essential oil recipe is unlikely to cause skin irritation when diluted properly. If the oil has oxidized (been left with the cap off for long periods of time), it is more likely to cause skin irritation. Check out this dilution chart for diluting this essential oil properly.
Some essential oil recipes are not generally safe to use if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor prior to use.
